Research shows that babies born with low vitamin D levels are twice as likely to develop schizophrenia later in life. The good news is, this finding may help prevent the terrible illness.

Ah, the favorite meme of redditors who don't like the implications of a study.

accountt1234

Well, I wouldn't consider ganging up on one person an act of bravery either.

They mention it in the study:

It was extremely difficult to use RF-free controls at the mountain sites, because it was almost impossible to make ‘‘electromagnetically screened cages.’’ Such a cage should ideally provide high (of the order of 30 dB) screening at the frequency range between 88.5 and 950 MHz (Commercial Radio FM band, UHF TV band, and Mobile Communication band), and therefore would require a very dense and well-grounded, conductive external metal grid. Obviously, mice could number of newborns per dam and mating from all experimental hardly survive in such cages for about 5 months. groups. The litter was considered to be the experimental unit for the analysis of data.

I understand your concern, but the mice used were of the Balb/c strain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BALB/c These are inbred mice, they have been inbred for generations to make them all genetically identical, this is to improve the quality of experiments. This means that inbreeding is not a concern, since all the mice are already inbred to begin with.

Your reasoning would be right if these were just random wild mice. They would carry recessive mutations and inbreeding would cause the mice to get health problems. Not with these inbred strains though.

Well, there is the story of the Purkinje cells... Repost from a comment i wrote before:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20691167?dopt=Abstract

What does a reduced number of Purkinje cells mean? In rats it causes autistic behavior:

Autistic people have lower numbers of Purkinje cells.

Second study showing less Purkinje cells in autistic folks.

Purkinje cell size is reduces in autistic people.

"Just one study showed an effect of non-ionizing radiation on Purkinje cell number."

Well, here's another that found the same effect. Granted there is also a study that found no effect. One thing though, Purkinje cells are not always as vulnerable. For some reason, rats exposed to X-ray radiation on day 14 or 15 of pregnancy have less Purkinje cells than those exposed on day 16 or the control group.

Here's another study showing an effect of non-ionizing radiation on Purkinje cells. Here is another. Here is the last one, showing the same thing..

I know this is not conclusive evidence of the level smoking--->lung cancer, but can we take the risk?

Thanks for the upvotes. I want to mention one additional thing that didn't fit into the title. The maximum levels in this study were 1053 nW/cm2. Using this conversion table, we find that it translates to about 2.13581 V/m. I checked it three times, and you can check it for yourself, but yes, this is the level that they found. How does this translate to the values we are exposed to? Another more recent study also looked at radiation levels. It mentions an average of 2.36V/m in white stork nests within 200 meters of antennae. At a distance of more than 300 meter, it mentions an average of 0.53V/m.

It also found massively reduced fertility by the way. I have studied this issue for months now, and keep up to date of every new study done. This is all they're discovering. There's about a dozen more studies like this. And they all show infertility due to radiation. In birds, in rats, in frogs, and yes, in humans.

accountt1234

Very good point - but this seems rather huge and the referenced paper was published 2005.

Well, it is huge. But nobody wants to hear these things. Let's bring that bullshit antenna to rest shall we?

Here are some studies showing infertility in rats:

1.

2. This study is most disturbing. It took 3 generations in those exposed to high levels before they became absolutely sterile. In those exposed to low levels it took 5 generations.

3. Ovarian damage.

There's more if you're interested.

accountt1234

If this were such an issue, where are the MSM reports?

Walking on behind the facts, as always. Digg is a day later than Reddit. The mainstream media is on average a year later than than the alternative media.

accountt1234

Bullshit. I can't find any credible source that repeats this claim for cell / mobile phone tower radiation causing infertility.

You can't? The article actually cites at least 4 studies saying just that, and all of those cite a lot of other studies confirming that.

accountt1234

Wise decision sir.

accountt1234

Hell, I didn't even know such a thing could happen during an abortion.

Because you're on Reddit. You probably know everything about Glenn Beck and why he is the incarnation of evil though.

accountt1234

He seems mentally ill.

These women don't want a man. They just want a source of money.
